Today my wee B. albopilosum sling made me very proud. It caught its first live prey, that poor little baby roach had no chance... :cool:

Locke (that's the German word for 'curl') was quite happy as well, as you can see... :D

Something to Sink Your Teeth Into (Phormictopus sp. "south Hispaniola" 1")

Catch! (Avicularia avicularia 1" from @cold blood)
I cut a mealworm in half for my two Avic slings. The side with the head kept crawling with alarming speed, and when it fell off the edge of the webbing, I thought it was lost. To my surprise, the sling caught it on the way down.

I also recently got a Harpactira pulchripes sling but that guy is always burrowed and I haven't been able to get a good pic.
